A Great singer - but ageing

"I am 60 years of age and wanted a good album of GBS which would remind me of my earlier years. I am somewhat disappointed with this because it is a fairly recent recording (late 1990's) and the great singer sounds a bit tired, his age reveals itself in his voice. There is no doubting however the quality, even of the older man, but for me I will continue to hunt for earlier recordings. The selection of pieces can be very subjective but I think the fan of GBS would be very pleased with the tracks laid on this CD. In addition the way he overcomes the weakness in his voice by slight modifications both to pace and range of note is very tastefully done.

Like all of his music this too will grow on you if you give it time.

If this was all there is I would buy it... but I know there is better... somewhere."

"I happened to listen to Bev Shea from Bill Gaither's Home Coming Series. What a wonderful man & his songs. They stir my spirit & soul. The words have deep meaning. I would recommend any buyer who has some classic taste to get this album and listen & sing along realising the words. May GOD Bless such people and give them long life and raise more people like Bev Shea for HIS glory. I am buyer from India. Thanks for the wonderful job done by Amazon. The packing was excellent. Although it took a long time around 1 1/2 months to reach my place, it reached us safe. May Jesus our Lord & Saviour be glorified by the talents that he has blessed us with.Thanks"
